Tennessee
Well there's a silence when you're looking at me
And I wish I could go back to sleep
But in this moment you won't look beyond the brown behind the black
Wide abyss in my mind and I'm turning back
Into the girl I always wanted me to be
Bathed in my sympathy, I'm begging to be clean
I'll send a postcard as I try to find my way
My ghosts behind me, I know that I'll make it through
And be oka-a-a-a-a-a-ay, be oka-a-a-a-a-ay
There's a light that's up ahead
And I'll be catching it the first thing in the mornin’
I'm on my way
Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night
Tennessee, you've been the nicest place to me
Well there's a siren that is deafening
As I try to uncover where I've been
But everybody's second guessing
All the moves their pawns have made
And I laugh to myself at this mess I've made
I'm not the girl I always thought that I would be
And I've stopped holding all my breath on silly things
But all the years I've spent just trying to believe
That I'd make it out of here and on to something only
In my dre-e-e-e-e-e-eams, in my dre-e-e-e-e-eams.
There's a light that's up ahead
And I'll be catching it the first thing in the mornin’
I'm on my way
Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night
'Cos Tennessee, you've been the nicest place to me
And I'm on my wa-a-a-ayea-a-a-ay-a-a-a-a-ay
I'm on my wa-a-a-ayea-a-a-ay-a-a-a-a-a-ay
I'm not the girl I always dreamed that I would be
But on my way to there I know I'll surely see
The mile markers as I drive down 65
Take me to somewhere that had always made me feel
Alive, oh alive
'Cos there's a light that's up ahead
And I'll be catching it the first thing in the mornin’
I'm on my way
Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night
'Cos Tennessee, you've been the nicest thing to me
Well there's a silence when you're looking at me
And I wish I could go back to sleep

Where the Summer Goes
Riding by the river, I don't know where the summer goes
Or why you stayed the night and then you left me all alone
Still, I couldn't stay away even though you wouldn't change
Up your mind or your story in the morning
So these days I stay awake through the twilight every day
Take another hit of something just to ease this pain away
But I couldn't bear to breathe in the dust from when you leave
So I cried and told my heart to just keep beating
Two rights, well they'll never make a wrong
Unless you hold tight to what you shouldn't hold on
Because your mind will cloud the way make you think love's gone away
But cross my heart I'll hope to die before it's ending
Still I'm waiting every day though the answers never came
Tried to reach you through the mess of all mixed signals that you gave
'Cos I wanted to believe that we could have had something
But now I'm learning not to throw myself to the fire so suddenly
'Cos two rights, I don't know what's so wrong
Except you hold tight to fears you shouldn't hold on
And your mind will cloud the way make you believe the lies you say
Just to make you feel better while it's ending
oooh...oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
You say you'd rather be alone than love someone when you get home
While I understand your reasoning, don't you think I should have known?
But now it's your fucking loss because you don't know what you've got
So I'll find a man who proves to me that now I'm better off
'Cos two rights, well they'll never make a wrong
Unless you hold tight to fears you shouldn't hold on
Because your mind will cloud the way. make you think love's gone away
But cross my heart I'll hope to die before it's ending
Just to make you feel better while it's ending.
Streetlights
It's getting colder than, colder than I've ever been
But that must be why you told me bundle up I guess
Until the streetlights take me in and make me one of them
Until the streetlights take me in and make me whole.
And yes, I miss a man, miss him more but mostly when
He used to call me down the stairs and when he'd take my hand
I used to think no-one would ever make me feel like that
I used to think no-one would ever make me whole
'Cos there's a darkness sleeping next to me
There's a lightness that I can't find
But now I see that you've gone from me
I never heard you leave
Well, I guess I should have left when I heard you talk like that
Well, I must have had you wrong, I thought I heard you laugh
Before the phone call that had ended all I knew of that
Before the phone call that had ended all of that
'Cos there's a darkness sleeping next to me
There's a lightness that I can't find
But now I see that you've gone from me
I never heard you leave
'Cos there's a darkness sleeping next to me
There's a lightness that I can't find
But now I see that you've gone from me
I never saw you leave
I never heard you leave
It's getting colder than, colder than I've ever been
But that must be why you told me bundle up I guess
Until the streetlights take me in and make me one of them
Until the streetlights take me in and take me home.
